Error: spawn /bin/false ENOENT

I'm getting an error when trying to run Chokidar.

My package.json

"scripts": {
    "build": "rollup -c",
    "watch:js": "chokidar --initial 'src/js/**/*.js' -c 'npm run build'"
},

Command

npm run watch:js

Output

...
add:src/js/util/RNG.js
add:src/js/util/enum.js
add:src/js/util/id.js
add:src/js/util/log.js
Watching "src/js/**/*.js" ..
Error when executing npm run build

Additional details

I'm having the same issue. What issue is this a duplicate from? And is there a workaround one could use in the meantime?

I've run into the same issue on 10.13.6 with latest, even trying echo 'test' as the command throws.
